I was watching some late night movies this weekend ( insomnia attack) and spotted two prominent former cast members:

David Hemmings had a bit part in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen ( 2003). Sadly it looks like he passed away around the time the movie was released. Wikipedia says he died of a heart attack on set in 2003.

I confess I didn't recognize him at first because he had really put on some pounds. I had to wait until the credits ran to figure out what character he played.

The second siting was Lynne Frederick, She played one of the daughters in "Nicholas and Alexandra" (Tatiana).

I also saw on her bio that she was Catherine Howard in "The Six Wives of Henry VII" with Kieth Michell- one of my favorite series. It's just too bad she didn't live long enough to take advantage of her talent.

Yeah Lynne Frederick what a sad loss she was brilliant in Follyfoot such a stunningly good looking young woman. She was cremated in Finchley crematorium near where i live in North London England and recently i've thought about going there to visit her commemorative plaque it's become abit of a shrine for all her fans leaving flowers and messages.

OK I did some research (which took hours, hence the silly time of the post). Here is the ones I have got.

A note about the Doctor Who; the names are of the serials. I have left out where they appeared in some episodes but the serials are no longer complete. Also I do not have all the serial (some are yet to be released on DVD) but been as it took so long I thought I would add them for a future date.

Also re: Keeping Up Appearances. In the USA they named the episodes, but in the UK they named them (for example) "Series 1 Episode 1". Consequently on some sources they vary the title, for example the episode with Clare Kelly in is named on imdb as "Skis" but is also known as "Sister, Sister". So to avoid confusion (and been it is a UK programme) I have not named the episodes.

Doctor Who:-Alethea Charlton (An Unearthly Child; The Time Meddler) Arthur Hewlett (The Trial of a Time Lord: Terror of the Vervoids; State of Decay)Charles Pemberton (The War Games; The Tomb of the Cybermen)Christopher Coll (The Mutants; The Seeds of Death)Clifford Rose (Warriors Gate)Colin Bell (Invasion of the Dinosaurs; The Sea Devils)Colin Douglas (Horror of Fang Rock)Daphne Oxenford (Dragonfire)Edward Underdown? (Meglos)Frederick Treves (Meglos) Fulton Mackay (Doctor Who and the Silurians)Geoffrey Morris (Planet of the Spiders)Godfrey James (Underworld)Janet Hargreaves (The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)John Cater (The War Machines) Note: he only died this yearJohn Stratton (The Two Doctors)Keith James (Inferno)Leslie Dwyer (Carnival of Monsters)Leslie Schofield (The Face of Evil; The War Games)Neil Hallett (Timelash)Norman Atkyns? (The Sea Devils; Colony in Space)Paul Whitsun-Jones (The Mutants)Reginald Barratt (Planet of Giants)Rio Fanning (Horror of Fang Rock)Ronald Leigh-Hunt (Revenge of the Cybermen; The Seeds of Death)Walter Randall (The Invasion; Inferno; Planet of the Spiders; The Aztecs)William Mervyn (The War Machines)

Follyfoot was a popular 1970s children’s TV programme co-produced by Yorkshire Television and TV Munich. Based on Cobblers Dream, written by Monica Dickens, the series had great drama, good storylines and was set in a beautiful location in Yorkshire. Starring Gillian Blake, Steve Hodson, Christian Rodska, Desmond Llewelyn and Arthur English, they played the well-loved characters of Dora, Steve, Ron, the Colonel and Slugger. And who can forget that catchy theme tune, The Lightning Tree, sung by The Settlers.
